    I keep getting kicked from every server, around 45 seconds to a minute in the game. Anyone have any clue what is going on? I'm not "hacking" or even using a "No-CD" crack.

    PB came a long way. i remember when they first started out with TFC, they wanted to get sponsored by Valve for $1 per month to make it more 'official.' Valve declined of course saying that they'll make their own anti-cheat software.

    Punkbuster is the devil. It doesn't play nice with Linux.

    To the OP, try running the game in Administrator Mode.

    I run BF2 in compatibility mode and admin mode, cause punkbuster would constantly kick me for non supported OS or whatever and now it works fine.

    *edit*

    I run Vista Ultimate 64bit
